Trampas Cemetery is about half a mile south of Trampas, NM, very near the High Road to Taos, NM State Hiway 76. County Road 714 is a one-lane dirt road that will take you to the cemetery after about a quarter of a mile from 76. The cemetery comprises about two acres in a rectangular shape running mostly N-S. The area is in the Western foothills of the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rocky Mountains, and when we visited in June of 2020 the cemetery appeared to be regularly maintained. It's surrounded by a wire fence with a vehicle entrance on the N end, where there is room for vehicle parking, and a foot gate on the W side.
Most of the headstones were very readable and faced the N. There is an unusual number of graves that were enclosed in a crib, some with the names of the interred and appropriate artwork. A notice on the tree in the W center announced activities on Memorial Day. The cross near the center of the cemetery had rings for hanging paraments. There were many graves with birthdates in the mid 1800's and a dozen or so recent interments.
